Preaching to the choir

I recently read a blog using the phrase “preaching to the choir” that asked if that was wasted effort since, hopefully, all the choir members are already believers.

I see it differently.

A good preacher will help me see something old in a new way.

We are all familiar with the phrase “an eye for an eye” which meaning people use to justify their own bad behavior. But, a preacher posited the idea that what it really means is that the punishment should not be worse than the crime.

I think there are lot of people in prison today who wish the people who put them there understood that principle.

TTYL.
